Part Supression

ok,
I got an assembly of 3 parts. If the "lenght" parameter is smaller than 12 feet, I want to supress one of the parts.

In other words, is it possible to supress a part from the assembly automatically using a parameter.

Thanks

Not without VBA or VB.

There is a way to fake the supression (the
part will not be visible).

 

Here's a simple example:

 

Let's say you want to supress a cube
(100x100x100mm) if your "length" parameter is 12 feet.

 

1) Extrude a rectangle (100mmx100mm) by
101mm.

2) Cut the extra 1mm away (this cut-length will be
driven by a parameter) with a second extrusion.

3) Constrain this 100x100x100 cube in your
assembly, but only constain to the Origin Planes.

4) If your "length" parameter is smaller than 12
feet, make the 1mm extrusion 101mm long --> Your cube will disappear, no
errors will occur.

 

Be carefull --> Your 100x100x100 cube is
still in your assembly, so it will also show in your BOM /
Partlist.

 

Goodluck!

Yes, but can you automate that without
VB(A)?
